Scott said,
Andrea, have you looked at a tulip?
so one day I looked at a tulip
it was near the end of its season
what once had stood tall and proud
now a little wilted
the color
once vibrant and glorious
now slightly faded
the leaves
once strong and green
now hung limply
the stem
once supporting the birth of spring
now dejected
slightly bowed
I looked again
the petals
each one an individual
each one so beautiful
each one so gently curved
standing so close at the base
striving to join at the top
protecting that inside
I peered into this still living cup
and saw the stamen
in all its strength
as I leaned closer
the petals all fell
I held this stamen
and was surprised to note
it was made of three
three so intimately connected
they could not be separated
they were three in one
I noted the very top of this stamen
had a shape to it
it was the Cross
the tulip
created by Him
showing us again Who He Is
